MTSU is truly a university on the move and is experiencing dynamic growth. We currently
have over $400 million in capital construction projects, either under construction
or in the planning stages, including a new student union building, a new building
for the College of Education, and a new 257,000 ft 2 science building. In the past five years, MTSU has added a new building for our Honors
College, a new recreation center, and has significantly upgraded our baseball facilities.

Since 2001, MTSU has developed eight Ph.D. degree programs and has increased the total
amount of extramural funding from about $4 million to almost $40 million. The University
has several niche programs that bring us special distinction. For example, our Aerospace
Department is ranked in the top five aviation and air traffic controller programs
in the USA. We have our own airport and the second most number of airplanes of any
university in the USA. We are in the process of purchasing a 360° air traffic control
simulator and will be the only university in the USA to have this equipment for training
air traffic controllers. We also have unique programs with national reputations in
Concrete Industry Management and in Recording Industry Management.
